Hello Big Boy Bed

About five days after giving up the pacifier, Ashy started climbing out of his crib and coming out of his room.  It happened to be the weekend of Colbie's birthday party when my family was in town....  I think it was a combination of no pacifier, Ashy being sick with a nasty cold/cough, and knowing his cousins were still awake (not great sleeping conditions).  He kept saying "mama I hear them!"  So after a few nights of holding his door closed while he cries himself to sleep on the floor, we brought in the big boy bed and put a child safety lock on his door.  After our guests left, he transitioned quickly and is now proud of his "Good Dinosaur Big Boy Bed"!

It was an emotional week for me.  I did not plan to get rid of the pacifier and crib within the same week. What happened to my baby boy?
